Nelson B.C. Wonderful town! A liitle slice of heaven.

I don't know who Bill Warner is but if he thinks that Coral over Gray Nomad wagon is a '57 Chevy he is (charitably) mistaken.....actually he doesn't know what he's talking about...it's a '55 period.

Not my car unfortunately. The only car I MIGHT trade my 911 for - an M6, 1986 I believe. I always loved the look of these. Not sure if they're all that fast but this car always looked fast just standing still to me.

Dottore,

Southeast Alaska... Somewhere along the Gastineau Channel?

Those are definately 55' tail lights on the Chev.

Bill Warner, photogapher with R & T forever. He should know the differance but I agree, it's a sweet '55.

:D

Rotax 503, 47HP, can't remember the prop offhand...

Air-Cooled, way to go.:)

The 503 is used on a lot of small hovercraft too. It would be a nice upgrade for me.

The Rotax motors are about as bullet-proof as a 911 six. They like high R's, and are trouble-free with proper maintenance. I had the single carb, dual ignition which was more than enough power for me to cruise at 70mph at 85% throttle.

Death Machine ^

Harsh....................but I tend to agree.

Guess I was never cut out to be a pilot..............or a pasenger in a plane for that matter either and certainly not one of these!

There is no adrenaline rush like that of the first flight in an aircraft you've built!!

Kinda like the rush of the ground coming up real quick?

Hey Ed, what is the big white box on top of the death machine?
Please tell me it's not a parachute.

Edit: Nevermind... I just noticed your SWA logo.
Sure there is: the adrenaline rush when you're flying and the airplane suddenly get's real quiet. :D
